Monu (All rounder)
Monu has the ability to shine when on the raid as well as in the defence with his key tackles and blocks.
Ziaur Rahman (Defender)

UP Yoddha predicted line up
Nitin Tomar (c) [Raider]
With 33 points from the last two matches, the skipper of the UP Yoddhas has been absolutely stellar, to say the least.
Rishank Devadiga [Raider]
Rishank has been an able supporter in the attack, contributing to the scoreline in a decent manner with his raiding.
Hadi Tajik [All-rounder]
The Iranian young gun has given glimpses of his talent in the past and will be eager to showcase his prowess if given a chance.
Jeeva Kumar [Right Cover Defender]
Jeeva Kumar will look to target the experienced raiders on the other side which include the likes of Deepak and Rajesh.
Surender Singh [Raider]
His knack of thriving in the do-or-die raids makes him a vital asset for the side.
Sagar Krishna [All-rounder]
He picked up a High-5 in the last match against Dabang Delhi and will be looking to display the same kind of performance against the Pune team as well.
Nitesh Kumar [Defender]
Nitesh is brutal when it comes to initiating advance tackles and it is difficult for the raiders to escape one within his hold.
